New Movie: Ballroom Dancer

If, like me, an interest in Strictly has also lead to an interest in the competitive circuit, you may be interested to hear about a new documentary film which will be released in the new year.

Ballroom Dancer follows Slavik Kryklyvyy, a former World Champion in Latin, who was out of dancing for 10 years with a hip injury. Slavik was the former partner of Joanna Leunis, who went on to capture all of the world's highest professional accolades without him. He now has to get new partner, and lover, Anna Melnikova up to his expected standards to try and recapture his past success. Slavik is willing to sacrifice everything to get back to the top. The couple have to battle anxiety, injury and envy below the glittery surface of the ballroom world.

Ballroom Dancer has won awards at the Raindance and Tribeca Film Festivals in 2012.

The film, directed by Andreas Koefoed and Christian Bonke, will be released in cinemas on 18th January 2013 and on DVD and download on from 4th February.
